Rolling papers
by Vibes
Vibes Rice Cones 1¼ are pre-rolled cones made from ultra-thin rice paper, designed to let you taste your herb rather than the paper it's wrapped in. Each pack contains 6 cones at the standard 1¼ size — fill, twist, and you're sorted. No rolling skill required, no chemical additives, no bleaching agents. Just clean rice paper with a smooth, even burn from tip to crutch.
Pre-rolled cones solve the one problem every smoker has faced at least once: the dodgy roll. Maybe you're outdoors and the wind's being difficult, maybe your fingers aren't cooperating, or maybe you just can't be bothered. Vibes Rice Cones arrive shaped, crutch included, ready for you to pack with your favourite blend.
The rice paper itself is the real selling point here. Compared to standard wood-pulp papers, rice paper is noticeably thinner — we're talking translucent-thin. That means less paper taste interfering with your herb's flavour profile. You actually get to taste what you're smoking, which is sort of the whole point. The burn rate is slower and more consistent than thicker papers too, so you're not relighting every 30 seconds or watching one side canoe ahead of the other.
One honest note: rice paper cones are slightly more delicate than hemp cones. If you stuff them aggressively or pack too tight, they can tear near the crutch. Go steady when filling — a packing stick or the back of a pen works well. Treat them gently and they'll reward you with one of the cleanest smokes you can get from a pre-roll.

We carry both rice and hemp cones, and we get asked which one's better at least a few times a week. The short answer: neither is objectively better — they do different things.
| Feature | Vibes Rice Cones 1¼ | Hemp paper cones (general) |
|---|---|---|
| Paper thickness | Ultra-thin, nearly translucent | Slightly thicker, more textured |
| Taste interference | Minimal — herb flavour comes through cleanly | Mild earthy note from hemp fibre |
| Burn speed | Slow and even | Slow, slightly faster than rice |
| Durability when packing | More delicate — needs a gentle hand | Sturdier — tolerates firmer packing |
| Additives | None | None (in good brands) |
If flavour purity is your top priority, rice wins. If you tend to pack your cones tight and want something more forgiving, hemp's your friend. We'd pick the Vibes Rice Cones for lighter, flavourful strains where you actually want to savour the terpene profile. For heavier blends where you're less fussed about taste nuance, hemp does the job brilliantly.
We've sold a lot of pre-rolled cones since 1999, and the shift towards rice paper over the last few years has been noticeable. Customers who switch from standard papers to rice cones almost always comment on the taste difference first — specifically, the lack of paper taste. That "clean" smoke is what keeps people coming back to rice.
The 1¼ size sits in a nice middle ground. It's not as tiny as a single-wide (which can feel like you're smoking a matchstick), but it's not as large as a king-size, which can be overkill for a solo session. For 1–2 people, 1¼ is the size we'd reach for. If you're rolling for a group or like longer sessions, look at king-size cones instead.
Complete your setup with a decent grinder — the Vibes Rice Cones perform best with a consistent medium grind. A 4-piece metal grinder gives you that consistency every time, plus a kief catcher for later. If you want to try Vibes in a different material, their Hemp Cones are worth a side-by-side comparison.
They're made from rice paper with no chemical additives, dyes, or bleaching agents. The paper is all-natural and burns cleaner than standard wood-pulp papers, producing less ash and minimal paper flavour.
Each pack contains 6 pre-rolled cones, each fitted with a crutch (filter tip) ready to fill.
The 1¼ size is slightly wider than a standard single-wide paper. Depending on grind and packing density, each cone holds roughly 0.5–0.75g of ground herb — enough for a comfortable solo session or a light share between two.
Generally yes. Rice paper is thinner than hemp paper, which contributes to a slower, more even burn. The difference isn't dramatic, but it's noticeable — especially if you're a slow smoker who likes to take their time.
They can if you're rough with them. Rice paper is thinner and more delicate than hemp or wood-pulp papers. Fill in small increments, tap to settle, and use a light touch when tamping. Avoid using a pen or tool to push material down hard near the crutch — that's where tears happen.
Yes. They contain no bleaching agents. The paper has a natural off-white appearance rather than the bright white you'd see in bleached papers.
Keep them in the original packaging, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Rice paper absorbs humidity easily, which can make cones feel limp or burn unevenly. A dry drawer or sealed container works well.
